Seeking imaginative writers

NOW!’s 18th annual Halloween writing contest kicks off today with an exciting beginning to a
story written by childrens’ book author Margaret Peterson Haddix. Among the series penned by Haddix
are “Shadow Children,” “Missing,” “39 Clues,”
Caught, the fifth book in the "Missing" series, which came out in early September; and
Game Changer, which is scheduled for relase on Oct. 16.

Here’s a chance to pick up where Haddix leaves off to write a wickedly clever ending.

As in previous years, we’re looking for suspenseful, spine-tingling thrills — not blood and
gore.

Or, if you prefer to participate by illustrating the story, we welcome that, too.

On Halloween, check NOW! online, and you might see your story ending or artwork published.
